HIGHLY recommend Kustom Ink! My family got henna tattoos here, which came out great, and after talking with Jeremy, decided to get my first tattoo. He designed one for me based on a few ideas I gave him and it turned out beautifully! He also pierced my older daughter's ears, and they look great as well. My whole family was with me because we were here on vacation and headed back home, and he was so patient with my 3 year old. Super stand-up guy and an incredibly talented artist. We'll definitely be back!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!
If I could give negative stars I would. I asked for a nose piercing on both sides. After he had pierced my nose, told me he couldn’t put it where I wanted and could try to re-pierce it, for another charge. I wish he had told me that before, as I wouldn’t have done it. On the other side, he hit a nerve and now my nose is completely numb. Hopefully this is not permanent. This guy doesn’t seem like he knows what he is doing but puts up a good front. He needs to go back to being an apprentice, as he has a lot to learn.
In Response to owner:
I did express my frustrations and he said he would pierce it again, for more money. A professional piercer would have told me he couldn’t do what I asked instead of just piercing. I wasn’t going to have him try again and risk damaging my nose further. He helped me pick the jewelry, as he is the
“Professional” not me. It’s his job to help me through the process. I did wave goodbye, because it’s polite. There wasn’t really anything else that could have been done. Also, a poorly placed piercing and nerve damage has nothing to do with jewelry, that’s all the artist.

It was my 1st tattoo. He was really good with us. He was patient and funny. My aunt and I both got one So at 1st I was super happy with my tat. He told don't do nothing but soap and water. It faded really fast in 2 weeks and he said he would charge 50 for a touch up. After I did research I was told this is not normal and usually touch ups for the first year are free

Went to get a Jedi order symbol done and he really outdid himself. He tied it into the stormtrooper I already have and added to it. Crazy amazing work and amazing artist. All in all I'll be back again next vacay!

There were 9 of us ladies who went in to get a cute and simple tattoo. We were supposed to get a discount because it was so many of us. This was the first thing I questioned. It was still 94.00 each plus I gave him a 20% tip prior to receiving the tattoo. I thought this was way too much for such a simple tattoo. He ask me if I had a picture of what we wanted so I showed him the pic on my phone. He took a screenshot of it and then DID NOT hand trace it, he made a copy of it! I thought he would fill in what wasn't on the transfer, boy was I wrong! I swear it got worse with every lady's tattoo! They were pleasant but not super friendly. I felt like we were on an assembly line. We read the main reviews prior to going and they seemed like they were rofessionals. PLEASE BE CAREFUL going here!
I'm having mine fixed by a reputable shop now!

My mom and I had a great experience getting tattoos from Mike. The shop was very welcoming and Mike was extremely down to earth. They’ve healed perfectly and look exactly like what we wanted - will definitely be coming back.
